Cool TCA NTTM Tinplate Souvenir... | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Mike W.OGR Forum Member SUPPORTING MEMBER

I stumbled across this on the sale page of the TCA Museum Online Store. Only $15. Made in USA and O Gauge. It was interesting to me so I decided to order. They may have a few left. I have never heard of the Manufacturer...Sunset Trains & Toys.

I believe he still has some inventory he sells at York. I have a few of his pieces. Sunset was quite prolific with their representations of the Flyer 1107 Pullman

but my favorite is this morris boxcar.

they also did a Hafner Overland Flyer coach and quite a few buildings.

Was this a small hand-made operation?

I don't think it was hand-made, but it was not a large-scale business. Jerry Loman was/is the owner, Steve E. has kept in touch with him. Steve also has/had an O-gauge Sunset passenger set from 2009 listed on the buy/sell forum.

Any idea when this car was made for the TCA Museum...or in general when this line of tinplate was being manufactured so I can date the piece?

Try contacting Jerry and ask him when he produced them.
